I want to change article titles so they appear as h2 headings rather than h1.

A consultant has suggested I create an override of com_content/article/default.php, with this content:

<?php if ($params->get('show_title')) : ?>
<header class="article-header clearfix">
<h2 class="article-title" itemprop="name">
<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>
<meta itemprop="url" content="<?php echo $prefix.$url ?>" />
</h2>

Is this the best way to achieve this? Any concerns about new template releases or Joomla releases overwriting this change?

Also, couldn't this be instead entered into custom.css ?

Hi Jim,

Template overrides are unaffected by template updates (assuming its the same template of course) and are unaffected by Joomla updates

CSS is only for styling of html - (CSS) presentation and (HTML) content are kept apart

Actually, I'm wrong

As the template override is already added you would need to re-add it when the template was updated

It would be a case of changing the existing tag to h2 from the already existing h1

I wanna make sure I have this right, Paul.

You're saying that after I install a template upgrade from you guys, I must edit com_content/article/default.php and re-insert the modification I made. Correct?

Jim

Hi Jim,

Yes that is correct

When you install a new version of the template you would need to add the change back to the existing override

Thanks a bunch, Paul.

No problem
